turpsPauline's birthday meal went really well last Saturday. Corey came home from uni so that was an extra bonus too, though we drove him back to Newcastle after. He's turned into quite the party animal it seems, only getting back to his flat at 6:30 that morning.
Dad was tired and spent most of the time in his seat, but it was enough he was there. My brother and his partner -- ex partner, I don't know, they're officially split up and have separate houses now but still spend all their time together -- stayed for a few hours before going early due to babysitting reasons. Nanna, my aunt and uncle came, and of course all of Pauline's relatives and friends.
The food was delicious, but I have to admit, eating it caught up with me once I got home, so lesson learned in that respect. Also, mam picked that night to go out and cause havoc on Facebook again, posting horrible things about Kayleigh. As always her timing was horrible, and when I commented saying that a post like that was the last thing I needed to see and I thought she'd promised to not post to FB when she'd been drinking I was promptly defriended.
Dad had his first appointment with the cancer specialist on Monday. He's supposed to be admitted to hospital next week to have a procedure to tell him how advanced the cancer is, but he's not sure if he wants to know. The specialist did tell him that the operation to take away the tumour would be huge, over eight hours long, and everyone agreed dad wouldn't be up to it. The other option is to keep putting in stents to keep the jaundice away if needed and take each day as it comes.
On Tuesday Dad wanted us to take him to the bank and then off to a restaurant that he's been wanting to go back to for a while as a belated birthday celebration for him. It was good, I enjoyed spending time with him and Pauline even if it was the silver service restaurant that makes me feel weird when the staff call me madam.
It's a beautiful day today so we're off for a walk at the country park soon, then home around tea time as I still get worn out really easily.
To end on a lighter note. Niece into fandom report. She posted a tumblr Gerard meme on her Facebook yesterday. Doomed. DOOMED I tell you.
